Warren Adapting On the Fly

[Mavric]

Charlton Warren, the new Nebraska secondary coach, drew rave reviews from Bo Pelini last week. No surprise considering the Husker head coach hired Warren.
Through five spring practices out of 15, it does appear Warren fits in well with Pelini's staff. What's more, the players seem to respond well to Warren — which helps matters greatly for the time being because the 37-year-old former Air Force assistant is learning on the fly, so to speak, with help from his defenders.

"He's still learning the playbook just like we are — we're working on some new things," said Nebraska sophomore safety LeRoy Alexander. "Hopefully, he gets it all the way here pretty soon so he can teach it without us helping him out a little bit."

Warren is no wallflower — he won the Mr. Intensity Award as a senior defensive back at Air Force in 1998. He barks orders with authority, as is usually the case with coaches at major colleges, but he isn't over-the-top in that regard. He also can be lighthearted, his players say.

As is the case with many coaches (and teachers), repeat errors are Warren's pet peeve, Alexander said.

"He says he feels like Santa — he'll give you a little break," Alexander said. "But then on the third or fourth mistake, he'll bring out the military background. He'll take the hat off, and then you'll hear his voice get really deep, and he'll start yelling.

"Other than that, he's a good guy. We all like him."

"Wheres my coffee?"

"Wheres my remote?"

"Why isn't there a king sized bed in my room?"

Well, thats the only time I seen them yell.

Hope this guy can turn into a recruiting machine. Which is probably why he was hired in the first place.

Without the Navy, Marines are stuck in the USA and act like the National Guard.

Now where is the nearest bar?
